It is hard for me to beleive it has been a month since my last post. I really don’t know where the time goes. I can’t say that anything special has happened in the past month, yet we seem to be so busy. I’m not complaining though. Roger and I really enjoy the fact that we don’t “have” to go anywhere in the evenings. For the most part we have dinner, watch the news, have coffee while watching Wheel of Fortune and then watch our favorite shows on TV. Now that might sound kind of boring to some of you, but we LOVE the fact that we are not on the go every evening. We have been ther done that while the kids were growing up.
We are looking forward to the upcoming winter season.(as are most people in Florida). We are hoping for an increase in business with the increase of the winter folks in our area. It has been a slow and rough summer for most bussinesses in this area. On a positive note, I think that people will be nicer to the northerners and to customers in general. That is something that is good for everyone right! Sometimes things have to get ugly in order for people to realize just how far we have come from where we should be as far as how we treat others. With all of the negative talk about the economy, and everyone talking about how bad the holiday season is expected to be, I can’t help but think that this might help put people back on track as to the real meaning of Christmas. Wouldn’t that be a great thing!!!!
Speaking of where the time goes… Can you believe that our Kyndal girl will be two on the 23rd of this month. She is soooo awesome. She is talking like crazy. You can’t always understand her but she is always trying to repeat everything she hears. She calls us Grandma and Grandpa now!! She loves our dog Ellie. Anytime she gives Ellie a kiss (which is alot) she comes running to me to give me one too. She is completely potty trained and has not had any accidents at Grandma’s house as of yet. I don’t think I have ever seen a two year old as obcessed with flip flops as this girl. She has loved flip flops since she started walking. I have a toy magazine that has all kinds of awesome toys in it. Well one page has 12 dolls on it and they are all wearing… you guessed it, flip flops. That is the only page she wants to look at, over and over and over again. We are really looking forward to her opening presents Christmas day. She will probably really get in to it this year. ( although if she gets flip flops she probably won’t want to open anything else)
Chrissy and Willie are doing good. They like their new house and Willie likes his new job as a fireman. Chrissy has sacrificed in order to be a stay at home mom. She does medical transcription. She can only do that while Kyndal is asleep. Therefore, Chrissy does not get to watch TV at night because she is working. She also has to work pretty late into the night. She doesn’t love doing it but it earns some money and makes it possible for her to be at home with Kyndal.
Steven and Emily have finally decided on a wedding date. It was not an easy decision for them because two of Stevens best friends are in the Marines and will be heading off to war soon. They want them to be in the wedding and share such an important event with them. So they have decided to wait until March 2010 to get married. Yes that’s longer than what they really wanted but this is when it will work out the best for them. Of course for those of you that know me, I already have our guest list ready complete with addresses, I have a cost estimate spreadsheet ready and have gone over the food choices with Emily. Not that I am anxious or anything.., I’m just prepared. You never know, I might be real busy when she needs that information. Now I can just print it out for her and she is good to go!!
I am still teaching classes at the gym. I teach two abdominal boot camps per week and two or three spinning classes each week. I LOVE IT !!! It is so much fun ( and work). Roger is still doing the car wash thing. We love our family and love our life. It’s all good!!!
Until next time ( and who knows when that will be)
Roger and Cheryl
